Yeah, personally having a difficult time with this slate. Should just stop building line ups. Pitching is trash. Finding 2 on DK is tough depending on the build. I really, really don’t like anyone below Duffy, and it’s not like I like Duffy all that much. I just think he’ll do OK and has some upside. I’ve gone as far as talking myself into some Pivetta. I’m using a little bit of Quantrill, but not because I want too. I’m sure I’ll regret it. I’m not going near TB pitchers. Everything I’ve seen leads me to believe Pruitt only sees 3 innings, maybe less, and he’s just not good. I’m basically building mostly around Buehler, Clevinger, Gibson, Archer, and Duffy. I can’t find a reason to possibly think that should go well.

EDIT: I should specify, pitching as a whole isn’t trash, but relative to the prices on DK it is. Means at 8.4K? Gray at 9.2K? Darvish at 8.6K against a team that doesn’t strike out? I was thinking of actually taking a shot on Fiers, but 8K? Nope.

Going w/ Pruitt and something called a Waguespack on DK. Certainly makes the bats look good…Edit: actually was able to move up(?) to Quantrill without sacrificing much, but that doesn’t really feel any better.

I agree…. played a few Waino and a few Leake and that is saying it all!

“After Stanek, Cash said they will take advantage of having a fresh bullpen and mix and match a lot, with Pruitt and Kittredge available for multi-inning stints.”

I’d figure Pruitt gets 2-3 innings here. He’s $4k though. Play long enough and you’ll take plenty of zeroes at that price. Just hope he doesn’t come in and get shelled during his brief appearance.

Cheese convinced me on Crunch Time pointing out that even with 2-3 innings he could pick up the W. Add in a few Ks and not getting shelled and he’s in the winning LU if offense is half as good as expected tonight.
